U.p. Yoddhas Vs Telugu Titans 14 November 2024

FULL-TIME! UP Yoddhas 40-34 Telugu Titans

Two streaks come to a close as UP Yoddhas snap their four-game losing skid with a hard-fought win, while the Titans’ four-game winning run is halted. Adding to their woes, the Titans saw Hi-Flyer Pawan Sehrawat sidelined due to an injury - a blow they’ll surely feel in upcoming matches.

The Titans held the advantage at halftime, thanks to Vijay Malik's dazzling four-point Super Raid, but the Yoddhas came out with fire in the second half. They forced an immediate All-Out, flipping the momentum and taking a crucial lead. Bhavani Rajput delivered the knockout punch with a brilliant Super Raid that led to another All-Out, sealing victory for UP. Rajput registered a Super 10, as did Bharat Hooda, who racked up points with skillful bonus hunting to keep UP in control. On the defensive end, Hitesh and Sumit formed a formidable duo, combining for seven tackle points that held off the Titans' raiders.

For the Titans, it was the lone heroics of Vijay Malik that kept them in the game, but the absence of support, especially with Pawan out, proved costly. The Titans will hope Pawan's injury is minor and that he returns soon to bolster their ranks.

That’s a wrap for this thrilling encounter! This is Meeth Agrawal signing off. Don’t go anywhere - coming up next, it’s the Tamil Thalaivas taking on U Mumba!

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League 2024! This is Meeth Agrawal, bringing you all the live action from tonight’s clash between the UP Yoddhas and Telugu Titans at the Noida Indoor Stadium.

We have two teams here with vastly different recent fortunes.

The Titans, after a promising opening win, found themselves struggling, losing three games back-to-back. It seemed like the ghosts of past seasons were returning. But here’s the twist. Nobody anticipated what came next. This “new-look” Titans squad heeded their coach’s call and transformed on the mat, now boasting a four-match winning streak! And it’s not just any wins. They managed to edge past the reigning champions, Puneri Paltan, with a heart-stopping 34-33 victory. Once again, Pawan Sehrawat showed why he’s one of the league’s finest with a Super 10, but the real star was Vijay Malik. Given a show of trust, he delivered a crucial Super 10 of his own to secure the Titans’ win.

On the other side, we have the UP Yoddhas, who started strong, winning three out of their first four matches. They looked like one of the league's toughest contenders—but it’s been a rough road since then. They’ve now dropped four games in a row and are scrambling to regain form. Bharat Hooda has been a reliable force in their raiding department, while Sumit Sangwan has stepped up in defense. In an effort to turn things around, Sumit has even taken over as captain, with Surender Gill now on the bench. After a close 35-33 loss to U Mumba, the Yoddhas are hungry for redemption tonight.

Buckle up for an intense battle, as we’re just moments away from the action! This is Meeth Agrawal, ready to take you through every tackle and raid!
